Mimi, My concept of "enrollment" as it applies to this project (although, a different word might be more effective in communicating this) is along the lines of what William has described: simply a mechanism for getting oneself "listed" in the registry AND some mechanism for keeping people out of the registry if there is no reasonable likelihood that they would ever have a legitimate reason to exchange EDI messages with someone who IS in the registry. So I would also agree with what I think William is saying that the security does not have to be ironclad in this regard. We do need to "clear" a certain group of businesses for easy access to the registry, but the worst case of having people listed who don't belong there is wasted hard drive space. The ability to look up someone's CPP doesn't seem that dangerous either because the potential partner will still have some "due diligence" to complete before the messaging can commence.
So I see "enrollment" policy as essentially a screen-door to keep to flies out!
